Relationship between the plasma and sputum levels of HMGB1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in APTB patients and HV subjects. Correlation of plasma and sputum level of HMGB1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in APTB patients (A) and HV subjects (B) were analysised by Pearson correlation using GraphPad Prism Version 5.0. Plasma levels of HMGB1 (A-a), IL-6 (A-b) and IL-10 (A-c), but not TNF-α (A-d) in APTB patients were positively correlated with those in sputum, respectively. However, plasma levels of HMGB1 (B-a), IL-6 (B-b), IL-10 (B-c) and TNF-α (B-d) in HV subjects did not correlate with those in sputum.
